That Dreaded Disease Twbersu1ests Dis
esversd In . Two Year Old Hsifsr.
A rumor was current Thursday night that 4
COW belonging to resident of the New Mills
was suffering from tuberculosis. Inquiries
into the matter elected the fact that Mr..
Morse Of Litchfeld had reported to City
Marshal Norton that heiter formerly owned
by him but now possessed by William Savage
was suffering with the above mentioned DIS
ease. The officer attempted to obtain the
services of DR.. Bailey Of Portland but found
it would be impossible for him to come until
next Monday. Those interested not wishing
to wait 90 long employed DR.. H. P. Giddings
to make an examination which he did and
reported that undoubtedly the animal
was afflicted with the disease. The
Mavor and Aldermen were notified and
they held . special meeting this forenoon
at nine o'clock and after the matter had been
discussed they decided to order the heifer to
be disposyd of in q legal manner. Three
appraisers were appointed to wit: Silas Sun.
son. James Andrews and MIR. Wakefield
and the heifer was valued at fifteen dollars.
At l.30 o'clock this afternoon your represen.
tative, in company with several other gentle
men, visited the premises which are on
West street and standing IN tine middle of
the barn. hitched to post, was the animal
supposed to be diseased. She was healthy
and sleek looking animal, with . bright eye
and apparently in q sound condition, never
theless. by placing your ear to the left side
wheeling sound could plainly be heard. DR..
Gddings arrived And after the heifer
had been killed he extracted a por-
ton of the lungs and discovered
tuberculosis in its worst form. The lungs
were full of yellow matter and indeed pre-
scented a sickening sight. A hole was dug
and to it were placed the remains. There
are three cows in Litchfield that are affected
with a cough and exhibit signs of the disease.
This matter will be looked into mediately
and ii such is the case their death will ensue.
Mr.. Savage is the owner of three more
cows which he has been ordered to quaran-
tine. The matter has caused lots of con-
sternAtion among our citizens who wonder
whether or not they have been drinking milk
coming from cows which have that malady.
DR.. Bailey is expected to arrive next Monday
and he will freely investigate into the con-
dition of the three cows in Litchfeld.
John Stone has sold his stock of dry goods

The trial of the men indicted for the
murder OF the Rev. Mr.. Haddock, which
began in Sioux City. Ia. Wednesday. will
attract wide and profound interest. Mr..
Haddock was murdered on the Sd of last
August. and his tragical end was undoubt,
eddy due to his efforts to aid in enforcing
the prohibtory liquor law. Mr.. Haddock
was shot down in the street on dark and
rainy night. and, while most of those pres
ont when the deed was done are known,
i, will probably be difficult to fix the crime
upon the real murderer. One or two OF
them have turned states evidence, but
how credible they are it will be necessary
for jury to determine. Mr.. Haddock
fell sacrifice to the rum power.
